\int xy^3 dx+ x^5 dy, where C is the rectangle with vertices (0,0), (4,0), (4,2), and (0,2)

F(bar)= <P,Q> <xy^3, x^5>
derivative of P with respect to y= 3xy^2
derivative of Q with respect to x= 5x^4
Double \int (5x^4-3xy^2) dx dy with limits for x from (0,2) and y limits (0,4)
I get 0 for the answer but that is incorrect. I feel like I'm making a small error somewhere. Any guidance would be helpful, thanks.

Looks to me like you've got your x and y limits reversed.
 
There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
